Comparing emergence dates over 54 years (1969–2023), on nine indicator groups spanning earliest to latest maturing cultivars, revealed a progressive drift towards earlier emergence, with more compressed distributions in recent years. Analysis of cultivars with 10 + concurrent years confirmed a phenological dependency on incident growing conditions between initiation and emergence, independent of cultivar genotype. Quantifying climatic accumulations between initiation and emergence, revealed that earlier ear emergence was positively and significantly correlated with daily temperature and irradiation trends, but weakly associated with highly variable rainfall. This phenological timing is also annually recorded on a wide diversity of agricultural, amenity, ornamental and vegetable species, at internationally dispersed test centres. Therefore, this study identifies hitherto unrecognised opportunities to interrogate precise and standardised plant responses to changing climatic conditions.

The low light stress caused by reduced radiation affects rapeseed production. Lodging is one of the main causes of yield loss and quality decline in rapeseed. However, few studies have been conducted so far on the mechanisms of shade effects on rapeseed lodging. This study aims to investigate the effects of low light on the lodging resistance, structural and biomechanical characteristics of four rapeseed genotypes and determine which lodging type (stem and root lodging) is more common under low light stress based on actual lodging conditions in the field. Shading net was used to investigate the bending strength of stems and root-related parameters. The results showed that low light significantly reduced stem and root lodging resistance, manifested as a decrease in stem bending strength and root anchoring strength, respectively. low light significantly reduced stem diameter (12.6 %) and second moment of area (37 %). low light also reduced stem anatomical parameters, especially cortical thickness (5.4 %) and lignin area (24.9 %). The significant reduction in root length, root diameter, root depth, root bending strength, and root tip strength leads to a shallower root layer, thereby affecting the root anchoring strength. Differences in root plane coverage area and root-soil cone volume exist between genotypes. low light reduced the safety factor of stem and root, but the decrease in root safety factor was higher. Besides that, lodging ratio data showed that, root lodging is more likely to occur under low light treatment as compared to stem lodging. The results of this study indicate that under low light stress, especially in low light areas, rapeseed genotypes with strong roots and high anchoring strength should be selected to improve lodging resistance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12143,"journal":{"name":"Field Crops Research","volume":"327 ","pages":"Article 109881"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143767513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study developed a spatial projection model to forecast alterations in winter wheat yields under prospective climate scenarios. This model integrated meta-analytic approaches, advanced mathematical statistical methods, and sophisticated spatial analysis techniques.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This study demonstrated that the impact of global warming on winter wheat yields exhibited significant regional heterogeneity, with effects strongly related to the initial background air temperature of the region. A diurnal continuous warming response model constructed based on meta-analysis reveals a distinct threshold characteristic in winter wheat's response to climate warming. When the background air temperature is below 10.7°C, warming can increase winter wheat yields, whereas above this threshold, it may lead to a reduction in yields. For China's main winter wheat production areas, a 1°C increase in temperature can lead to a 5.12 % increase in yield. And according to current climate scenario predictions, by 2050, climate warming is projected to result in a net increase of 6.02 % in winter wheat production.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The impact of climate warming on winter wheat yields exhibits a linear response relationship with the regional background temperature. A critical temperature threshold of 10.7°C divides winter wheat production areas into warming-benefit zones and warming-stress zones.

Long-term intercropping improved wheat rhizosphere soil structure, significantly increased nutrient content, and enhanced soil fertility. It also increased AMF colonization ability, richness, and diversity, while regulating the AMF community structure, which promoted the expression of nitrogen transporter genes in wheat roots, improving nitrogen absorption, and ultimately boosting yield. These beneficial effects were more pronounced after long-term intercropping.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Long-term wheat-faba bean intercropping enhanced the AMF community composition, improved the soil physicochemical properties, enhanced the nitrogen transport efficiency, promoted wheat growth, and ultimately increased production.</div></div><div><h3>Implications</h3><div>Long-term intercropping contributes to promoting sustainable agricultural production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12143,"journal":{"name":"Field Crops Research","volume":"326 ","pages":"Article 109874"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
